I live in NYC and don't love shopping in department stores, can you suggest some lesser known boutiques for me to visit?

Sure! How would you describe your style and is there anything in particular that you gravitate towards such as shoes, handbags etc?

I would say I'm a bit of a chameleon, I don't really have one style. I guess I am really after a go-to place for up and coming designers, I love wearing things my friends don't have...

I have the perfect place for you. American Two Shot, a clothing store that reads as part gallery, part personal closet, part pretense for a group of friends to have a place to hang out. They stock many up and comers, check it out. 135 Grand Street, (212) 925-3403; americantwoshot.com

Wow sounds great, thanks so much! I will go there this weekend.

Hi- I was wondering if you could help me choose which sneakers would be the best for me. What info do you need?

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Well, can you tell me your fitness routine? Are you training outdoors at all?

I typically workout at the gym doing a variety of classes from dance to spin and I like to use the treadmill from time to time. Thoughts?

I'm a huge Nike fan. I would suggest a cross trainer or a running sneaker. Both of these will give you the proper support for workouts that are filled with variety. Right now my favorite sneaker is Nike's Pegasus 30- they provide a great fit, good cushioning and the perfect support.

Hello. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. I am looking to loose some weight and heard that doing a juice cleanse would be a good place to start. There are too many to choose from though, could you tell me which you would suggest?

Hi Emily, thanks for reaching out. While I am not a fan of crash diets, a juice cleanse is a great way to reboot your system and start over. Are you working towards a date/event in particular and how much weight are you looking to loose?

Yes, I am getting married :) in 2months and want to be in the best shape possible. I would say it would be great if I lost 6-8lbs, nothing too crazy.

Well congratulations! Ok, here are two brands I like and have suggested to clients before. You could try the beginners cleanse by www.blueprintcleanse.com OR if you feel having a lite bite within the day would be better for you then take a look at www.juicepress.com, they have delicious juices and have a cleanse called the 4:! which includes 3 juices, 1 cold brewed almond latte and 1 raw salad. Hope that is helpful, feel free to circle back once you have taken a look.

Oh wonderful, thank you so much! I have actually heard of The Juice Press and was keen to know more about it. I will keep you posted on my progress. Thanks again, this is great!

I am thinking of going blonde but I am nervous to make the jump. Here is a picture of me now, what do you think?

Hi Meredith, thanks for getting in touch. I think changing your look every now and then is exhilarating and the best part about hair color is that you can always change it back (if done properly). Blonde would be a nice move for you but I would suggest that you move slowly, start with some highlights and see how you feel. Then you can have your colorist work with you to take it further or tone it back. Also, make sure to take a look at how your eyebrows are matching up afterwards as they may need a tint.

Great advice, thank you so much. If I lived in NYC I would come and see you :) but I am in Texas. I will be sure to keep you posted though as I may have more questions for you....fingers crossed!

Don't be nervous, its going to be great! And yes, please keep me posted, would love to see how it turns out.

Oh one more question, if I decide to just do highlights what would be the best approach to ensuring they are kept up? Would I have to have them touched up every month or so? That could be too costly for me.

That is a pain point of highlights, if made to look natural enough though you could probably have them done every 6-8weeks. For the in-between moments, if you have an event or a date where you really want them looking their best, I actually have my own line of products so check them out as they may be of help should you go down this road. Good luck!
